My life would have been far worse if I'd not found a wonderful partner to navigate it with early on. I struggle with depression, and even with the love I've found there are days I'd rather not get up, ever again. But I try to find joy in the days that are good, and as I've gotten older I've learned to see beauty even on the bad days. I love your poem. It expresses the truth about life, both the beauty and the brutality.http://poetryofthenetherworld.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-heart-thawing-in-sub-zero-temperatures.html

Oh. That is one road that needs a branch to take instead, this one waits in hellish terrain. But see ahead where a new acquaintance warms into friendship and the snow melts just a bit? There is a fork in the road, a friend to risk loving and losing if we can be so bold. In the end the train comes for all. This poem just seems so sad to me!
